Flyfishing in moving waters. Modern solution to timeless problems.
This talk will offer a fresh approach on classic upstream fly fishing. Michael will define and discuss common problems of moving water, presentation and fly selection. He will then discuss possible solutions to these problems, and a reasonable approach to an upstream presentation of all life stages of aquatic insects, in all water columns. The talk will conclude with a discussion of best practices when tying, modifying and selecting fly patterns to fish.
